Welllllll, I have to say I was disappointed from the get go...Arrived at what I thought would be a killer place to get info, bait etc. etc.. Roland Martins Marina in Clewiston.... Ya figure with a guy like that owning the place it would have been superb....

No bait sales, no information available, the place was like a ghost town.. I had expected something similar to a Gander Mountain, or Bass Pro, Cabelas, something over the top.... NOT!!!! Could have bought plenty of t shirts had that been what I wanted, the has one lonely fish tank in the center with a Bass of maybe 4 pounds in it.. BFD!!!!Asked the lady behind the counter, where to go, what to do etc. etc.... Im sorry I just dont know....WTF is that carp????I left pissed, traveled down the road to a mom & pop shop, great people, told me all I needed to know, problem was that the lake is rather low, so shore fishing access is pretty limited...We found a spot on the Rim Canal, we were using Crickets for bait...100 for 3 bucks, not bad...Tossed in several times and finally hooked up, small maybe 8 inch fish, then we caught a few Myan Ciclids, about the same size....Moved down the canal some and basically the same thing, move several more times and maybe caught 40 fish total, nothing worth taking a picture of....I was told that I need to come back in the winter as the Crappie fishing can be killer....

Mr. Luc, maybe I need you to come down and show me the ropes, or maybe next time I will have to get in a boat...

My sister and her family lived in Clewiston for a number of years and operated their rescue and underwater vessel repair business out of Roland Martin's Marina. They thrived on low lake level conditions. She has told many a story to me about the Martins and that place of theirs.I have fished the rim canal for sunnies a couple times. Caught some longears in the canal. Fishing the hyacinths with shiners under a balloon for you-know-whats is a kick.Let's just keep that little tidbit between you and I though Jay and please don't ever tell anyone that I said so.
